Consider a tower that has leaned an inclination of 18o. The tower continues to lean at annual increment A, which is normally distributed with a mean value of 0.1o and a c.o.v of 30%. Assume that the incremental amounts of additional leaning between years are statistically independent. Determine the probability that the final inclination of the tower after 16 years will exceed 20o.

Suppose that replacement times for washing machines are normally distributed with a mean of μ=8.7 years and a standard deviation of σ=1.6 years. Find P25 the replacement time that separates the bottom 25% from the top 75%
In a seismic hazard analysis, the magnitude of the earthquake (Richter's scale) is modeled with a Type II asymptotic distribution of the largest value. In a certain geographical area, data have been collected for 50 years, and the annual maximum values of the earthquake magnitude have a mean value of 4.0 and a standard deviation of 1.4. It is estimated that an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 or more will devastate the region. What is the probability that the annual maximum magnitude will be greater than or equal to 7.0? Compute the same probability if Type I is assumed instead of Type II.
